Heartbroken owners, Meg Fitzgerald and Philomena Mooney, have also started the “Help Get Jodie and Erin Home” campaign on Facebook, which has received nearly 600 likes.

And last week, the pair offered a "substantial" cash reward for the safe return of the two Lurchers.

Jodie’s owner, Meg Fitzgerald, said: "Jodie is a friendly, gentle dog and is of no value to anyone other than us and her wider Dublin Dog Training family.

"We are devastated that she is missing and we want to do everything we can to ensure she returns home safely to where she belongs."

Secretary of Great Hounds in Need, Philomena Mooney, who was caring for Erin, added: "Erin is very much loved and wanted and has a fantastic life waiting for her with us.

"Please let Erin come home so we can keep our promise to give her a better life."

Jodie, a two-year-old female, is mostly brown with a very distinctive white stripe down her face.

She has four white paws and a white chest.
